"You four old geezers, come at me together!"
Chen Xiao beckoned to the four Protectors. Since the old fellows didn't show him any respect, he saw no need to be polite.
His words had an effect comparable to a magnitude seven or eight earthquake, leaving everyone present stunned and bewildered.
Was this kid tired of living? The four Protectors were second only to the Elders and the Hall Master in power within the God Slaying Hall.
Any one of them was more than enough to deal with him, yet he wanted all four to attack him at once?
He had seen people show off before, but never someone who risked their own life to show off!
If the four Protectors joined forces, even Hall Master Chu He might not be able to handle them!
Tie Xue looked speechless and said helplessly to Lu Datou, "Brother Datou, it seems Brother Chen is in grave danger this time. He... he is too overconfident."
What Tie Xue was thinking was even more extreme; 'overconfident' was a very mild way of putting it.
Lu Datou remained noncommittal, "Old Tie, the fight hasn't even started, it's too early for you to say that."
"Whether it starts or not, the outcome is already decided... You don't actually think Brother Chen can fight all four Protectors by himself, do you?"
Tie Xue said with exaggerated disbelief. Although he admired Chen Xiao, it didn't mean he had blind faith in him.
At this moment, Gongsun Yi, standing nearby, said in a low voice, "Mr. Chen never fights a battle he isn't sure of winning."
Tie Xue was utterly speechless and shook his head helplessly. The martial artists from the secular world had limited insight; they had no idea how powerful the four Protectors of the God Slaying Hall were.
On the other side, Huangfu Yan looked at Chen Xiao as if he were already a dead man.
Chu Qingluan had spoken up for Chen Xiao earlier, which had annoyed him, but now that annoyance had vanished.
After all, who would bother getting angry with a dead person!
The four Protectors of the God Slaying Hall were all formidable. If they were to be dealt with one by one, Huangfu Yan was confident he could defeat them. However, if the four of them joined forces, Huangfu Yan had no certainty of victory... Unless he was pushed to unleash his true power, survival under their combined assault was impossible.
If he, Huangfu Yan, was in such a predicament, what about that martial artist from the secular world?
A mere secular martial artist defeating Gao Jingzong would surely have been his limit!
At this moment, Chu Qingluan's disappointment was evident, almost written all over her face.
Chu He, however, laughed in anger, "Well said, you arrogant brat! Protectors, heed my command! Since he dares to speak such wild words, let him have his wish. Attack him together and kill this brat here!"
The four Protectors exchanged glances, but their faces showed hesitation.
To deal with a mere secular martial artist, did they need to attack him all at once? They felt it was beneath them!
At this moment, the First Protector said to the Third Protector, who was slightly weaker among the four, "Third Brother, go up and test this kid's strength first!"
"What's there to test about a secular martial artist? You three wait, I'll go and take his life myself!"
The Third Protector, with a large head and big ears, said in a gruff voice.
With that, he strode menacingly towards Chen Xiao.
"Brat, you think you're invincible just because you defeated Hall Master Gao? You even want us four brothers to attack you. Do you think you're worthy?"
The Third Protector roared, "Let me tell you, all four of us brothers are at the peak of Martial Saint realm, not comparable to someone like Gao Jingzong who has just entered the Martial Saint realm!"
As he spoke, the Third Protector activated his Sacred Body, his entire being enveloped in a layer of earthy yellow light. His hands suddenly transformed into two massive war hammers!
The war hammers dragged on the ground, making a rustling sound and leaving two deep furrows, clearly indicating their immense weight.
"Brat, today I'll let you witness the might of a Martial Saint's Qi Manifestation into Weapons! It is your honor to die by my hand!"
Qi manifesting into weapons was Qi Manifestation into Weapons! And those two massive war hammers were formed from his Qi!
When the Third Protector was only three steps away from Chen Xiao, he suddenly leaped high into the air. The two massive war hammers connected to his wrists were raised high and brought down with immense force!
"Mount Tai Crushes Down!"
These two colossal war hammers, carrying a world-shattering aura, gave the impression that what the Third Protector held above his head were not war hammers, but the actual Mount Tai!
As the Third Elder was about to bring this 'Mount Tai' crashing down on Chen Xiao's head, Chen Xiao remained unperturbed, calmly raising his arm.
He was actually going to block the Third Elder's twin hammers with his bare arm!
Seeing this, the martial artists from the secular world closed their eyes or turned their heads away.
They couldn't bear to watch Chen Xiao being smashed into a pulp!
Chu He was already preparing to leave. In his opinion, Chen Xiao's action was no different from a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Even he wouldn't dare to directly block the Third Elder's Mount Tai Crushes Down, let alone Chen Xiao?
Boom—
The Third Elder's twin hammers finally landed on Chen Xiao's arm.
A sinister grin appeared on his face, for he knew Chen Xiao was dead. No one could withstand the might of his twin hammers!
This presumptuous brat, who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, would be minced into dumpling filling under his twin hammers, eventually becoming food for those pigs!
However, what was expected did not happen.
The Third Elder's eyes widened abruptly, as he discovered that the sensation from his twin hammers was soft and boundless, as if he were smashing into cotton.
He had clearly struck Chen Xiao's arm, so why did it feel like this?
The immense energy unleashed by the twin hammers vanished instantly, like a mud ox entering the sea.
Looking at Chen Xiao again, he stood before him unharmed, a mocking cold smile on his lips.
"A mere trick, and you think you can hurt me?"
Not all Sacred Bodies are worthy of being called Sacred Bodies!
The Third Elder's Martial Saint Sacred Body was in a completely different league compared to Chen Xiao's Canglan Sacred Body!
His Mount Tai Crushes Down might be able to cleave mountains and shatter rocks, but to injure Chen Xiao, it was still tens of thousands of miles short!
"This, how is this possible... Kid, what kind of trick is this?"
The Third Elder stared at Chen Xiao with utter astonishment, asking in disbelief.
It wasn't just him; everyone was dumbfounded.
Even if they were beaten to death, they couldn't understand how the Third Elder's Mount Tai Crushes Down, with its immense power, seemed to have no effect when it struck Chen Xiao.
"You want to know what cultivation technique this is?"
Chen Xiao chuckled, asking playfully.
"Yes..."
The Third Elder nodded blankly. He was completely shocked by Chen Xiao and just wanted to know what cultivation technique Chen Xiao practiced.
"Sorry..."
Chen Xiao grinned, smiling brilliantly, "Dead men are not worthy of knowing such things!"
Before his words even finished, Chen Xiao punched and blew up the Third Elder's head...
